Card Design: Limited Runs Progressive Challenge ...April

Hey folks! Slowly but surely I'm recovering from that nasty case of the stomach flu that is swirling through my community. Thanks to everyone for being patient if you had been waiting on me for something. The pile is still rather deep but I am climbing out as fast as I am able to. One of those tasks was to get my card done for this month's Progressive Challenge over at Limited Runs!

The Progressive Challenge is actually on Facebook (FB) in the Limited Runs Group and can be found HERE.
You will need to join the group in order to access the information. Now
thankfully, Nikki is willing to accept mailed in entries for those
people like me who don't have FB accounts. You can find her email addy
in the side bar of the store. In fact, if you don't have a blog, that is
okay too. Simply send a photo and she'll add you in.

Check out the fun image that we got to work with this month...

If you'd like to purchase this image you can find it over in the
Limited Runs Store on a special page that will showcase all the
Progressive Challenge images. Click HERE
to head there now. As you can see from the above preview, there is also a pre-coloured version
that you can purchase as well.

The round of Progressive Challenges will last for three months and there
will be a grand prize winner at the end of it all.

Challenge #1: Ended March 13th and a winner was chosen Challenge #2: Started March 15th and will end April 13th. Those that played the month before received the free digi and those who didn't were able to buy into the challenge for only $1.00.Challenge # 3: Starts April 15th and will end May 13th

Then a Grand Prize Winner Will be Pickedand a new round with a new freebie begins!

If you have any questions at all, please contact Nikki!

About Me

Hi! My name is Lisa and welcome to my blog. Whether drawing, painting, cross-stitching, card making, or doing nail art, I've been 'creating' since I was knee high to a grasshopper. At the end of 2011, I really started getting interested in the world of card making and nail art. I knew that there were already a lot of creative card makers, digi stamp designers, and nail artists out there and I continue to learn a lot from them, but I needed a place to showcase my work so I could enter some challenges and as a result, created this blog in October of 2012.
I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I am happily married to my college sweetheart and we have been married for over 27 years. We were never blessed with children so our 'babies' have always been cats. Currently, we have one female tabby named Marigold.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a blast!
